Christopher Lehmpfuhl Germany, b. 1972

Location Tertianum Berlin Passauer Str. 5-7 10789 Berlin

The exhibition Mehr Licht, conceived for KORNFELD Galerie Berlin, presents new oil paintings, watercolours and a light installation by Christopher Lehmpfuhl — an artist whose practice is grounded in the immediacy of experience and a deep engagement with place, history, and light. Working en plein air, Lehmpfuhl captures Berlin’s ever-shifting atmospheres in thick, physical brushstrokes, transforming fleeting moments into luminous, tactile images. At the heart of the exhibition is Last Supper, a large-scale glass work shown for the first time in Berlin

Galerie Kornfeld is delighted to announce it's ten year anniversary exhibition, wich will feature the artists that have come along with us through the decade. The anniversary exhibition will reveal touching glimpses of the past and the future, sensitive and exciting exchanges between first artistic attempts and more mature works. The works on show hint at inner struggle and transformation, the eternal search for what is hidden behind the visible.

It can be a privilege to breathe freely, and at the present time this is even truer than ever. For the Berlin artist Christopher Lehmpfuhl, the air outdoors plays a large role in his inspiration. For his next exhibition, "Berliner Freiluft", the artist was drawn to the Beelitz-Heilstätten - a former sanatorium for the treatment of lung diseases just outside Berlin. His new oil and watercolour paintings will be exhibited there for the first time before then moving to Galerie Kornfeld in Berlin-Charlottenburg.

Christopher Lehmpfuhl carries the tradition of plein-air painting into our present day. As the impressionists did more than 100 years ago, he takes his colours and his canvases and goes where his subject is. In Christopher Lehmpfuhl's practice, painting becomes a performative act that includes sight as well as touch, hearing and smell. His paintings are the result of an intense dialogue with the world through all the impressions that find their way onto the canvas through the painter's eyes, arms, hands and his colours.

Galerie Kornfeld is pleased to present a two-person exhibition of paintings from Natela Iankoshvili and Christopher Lehmpfuhl. This exhibition looks at Georgia as a site of inspiration for two strong artists coming from radically different positions: a contemporary male painter who was born and still lives in Berlin, Germany, works on the spot in a country he has never visited before, and paints there with his hands, en plein air. And a strong woman, who was born and lived in Georgia from 1918 to 2007, and who can be regarded as the most notable Georgian female artist of the 20th century, paints the landscapes of her home country in her own, unique style, with powerful brushstrokes set on a dark background.

Christopher Lehmpfuhl’s expressive paintings chronicle the ecstasy of an immediate experience of reality, the act of seeing, as well as the transformation of the seen within painting. The artist always paints in front of his subject matter: some people might have already seen him go back and forth – highly focussed, with paint-spattered clothes – between canvass, paint bucket and palette, zooming in on his subject, before stepping back to bare handedly apply the paint to the canvas with precise movements. He thus creates three-dimensional colour reliefs with a strong haptic quality.

At a “Supper Club”, people who have generally never met before, get together in their host’s private rooms, where they are wined and dined with a self-prepared culinary menu. The idea of different people and cultures coming together through a shared interest is the inspiration for the group exhibition “Supper Club” that kick-starts the year 2017 at Galerie Kornfeld. We invited gallery artists, as well as exciting guest artists, to bring along one or two works as gifts for this exhibition, which unites a variety of artistic forms under one thematic framework.
